The photographer is looking west-south-west from the Riva Schiavoni showing the gondolas waiting for trade and beyond them on the right is the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. In the left background is the Chiesa del Santissimo Redentore, commonly known as Il Redentore, a 16th-century Roman Catholic church located on Giudecca Island.
